Trion the Brim Ripper

Trion the Brim Ripper

(Create a hero with unique mechanic)



Hero Introduction

Trion here is a hero that I created for the third theme, a hero with unique mechanic. Well, let's cut to the chase and say his unique mechanic, he cannot auto-attack. This means that he cannot right click (the only normal attack he can do is deny), so how is he supposed to be played then? This is where the fancy things happen, he has an inbound skill called Rip. This skill allows Trion to attack directly in front of him instead of the usual right click, much alike to action games like DmC or Bastion, and that kind of game was my inspiration.

With Rip unique mechanic, all his skills and attacks are capable to have area of effect (albeit pretty small radius), thus allowing him to farm rather quickly and become a beast late game. This hero is intended to be a dangerous late carry, which focuses on his dual blade. When I say dual blade, I mean that this hero can choose how he want to attack after learning his third skill, with Somatic Rip or Mind Rip, that allows him to choose the damage output and debuff he wants to use. This is essential because his ultimate allows him to have different effect on the debuffs, using more Somatic Rip will essentially make him tankier, and more Mind Rip will lower his enemies' magical resistance, increasing his DPS when attacking with Mind Rip.

Despite his strong points (heck, he essentially has free BF), he has a rather essential problem: he cannot use Unique Attack Modifier. Yep, he cannot lifesteal, he cannot slow, he cannot reduce armor, nor can he proc chain lightning. This makes him dependant on his ultimate skill and huge base movement speed, which leads to the next problem: he is easily kited. Nonetheless, his high durability is capable to let him overcome most torture, and he will just keep getting stronger and stronger the longer the fight drags on while making his enemies weaker with his ultimate. This puts his enemy into a tricky situation where they have to burst him down, but failure to do so will mean them committing too much just for him to come out stronger. Nonetheless, he's very weak in early game since his single useful spell in early game is Nothl Entrapment that only disable without dealing any additional damage. Because of this, he should be quite easy to be shut down in early game.

P.S: I tried making him based on the Grim Reaper (obviously from the title), and thus I tried a different style of lore to make it rather eerie, do tell me your opinion on this please.
P.P.S: Anyone who can guess the inspiration of his name and initial idea will get a +Rep :P

Lore

Darkness, darkness, when it enshrouds the sky
Beware, beware, for he shall be passing by
A spark of violet, t’was the start of tragedy
A flash of blue, does foretell our agony

Shall you not heed this exhortation?
Shall you not fear the undoing of creation?
For he is shrouded in the canvas of universe
And pride of man’s armory his eternal curse

He simultaneously walks the planes of the world
One in the realm of light and darkness whirled
Two in the maze so narrow under the scape
Oh listen to the souls wishing to escape!

And three in our world so petty, ripped open a brim
So now you would run and weep, hide and scream!
No one could survive his power, so just tremblingly whisper!
Whisper as you utter his name, Trion the Brim Ripper!
